Daniel J. Moskowitz

I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Government at Harvard University. In addition, I am a doctoral fellow with the Multidisciplinary Program in Inequality & Social Policy as well as an affiliate of the Institute for Quantitative Social Science. My research examines how contextual environments—institutional, informational, electoral, political—shape the behavior of both voters and elite actors. In particular, I study the U.S. Congress, media and politics, political parties, and electoral politics.

I graduated from Grinnell College in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Economics. Prior to entering graduate school, I worked as a research assistant/analyst at the Brookings Institution in the Economic Studies Program and at the Treasury Department in the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
